Located on Manhattan's West Side, The High Line, is a elevated public park project that utilizes an old section of railway that was once used to lift dangerous freight trains off Manhattan's streets. The second part of the part opened on Wednesday making the length of the park a mile-and-a-half-long.
Designed by landscape architects James Corner Field Operations, with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the park is a must see if you are visiting New York.
